My youngest boy is 3 1/2 and I know he's not a baby anymore but I had the truth given to me plainly that I no longer have any little ones when he announced after swimming lessons: "Why do I have to use the blue hooded puppy dog towel for babies?" All 4 used it and now nobody wants to be seen with it. :( A new stage has most definitely begun.

I've done several posts on my blog regarding the things that come out of my three year olds mouth, but one of my favorites has to be this one, http://thecharmingtyrant.blogspot.com/2010/08/kids-say-darnedest-things.html or this one, http://thecharmingtyrant.blogspot.com/2010/03/kids-say-darnedest-things.html

I forgot to say that the gym comment was from this morning. I think I could give you a funny overheard comment every day. :) Now that our little man is saying words, it's only a matter of time before he gives us some funnies (with his words, that is; he gives us plenty of funnies in other ways already!).

That's HILARIOUS!My 6th grader told me last week that he was sure he was growing sideburns and a beard. I had to get the magnifying glass out & I still didn't see it, but he said it's the kind of hairs you feel, not the ones you see. :)

I agree with Karen... I think you've just found a topic for a new book! Kids are so funny.

Sweet'ums has a real knack for stating the obvious in a super-cute, absolutely hysterical way. She'll say whatever it was that just happened ("Mommy says mommy words!"), along with a knowing little grin that says, "We'll keep this just between us."

I've been teaching my four-year-old (the fourth of four boys, by the way) the 23rd Psalm. Driving in my blue mommy van this morning, we had this conversation:Me: "The Lord is my shepherd."Him: "I shall not want."Me: "He maketh me to lie down in..."Him: "Green eggs and ham!"

ARE YOU OUTNUMBERED?

Overwhelmed? Surrounded?

I’ve spent most of my “mom life” outnumbered … by four sons!

It’s easy for a mom to feel outnumbered today, to feel isolated and alone. But we really can’t do it all alone.

Moms need each other, not to mention a touch of something greater than us.

Along the way I’ve stumbled on a few ways to cope with this “mom life.” I’m here to share and to learn from you, too.

Whether you mother an infant, a toddler or a teen, an empty nest or a full one, you're not alone.

No matter what kind of mom you are – no matter what’s outnumbering you today – there’s hope and help.

Hang on, Mom!
